 My Friend Got A Tryout With a NFL Team He got invited to an open, but still invitation only, tryout for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sometime last week.
He went down, tried out for a saftey position. Yesterday he got a call inviting him to training camp!
Don't know if he can make the practice squad or not, but its pretty damn sweet that he is going.

That's nothing... the Detroit Lions are accepting anybody without a tryout. If you can hold a footbal and are willing to buy your own helmet,l they will make you the quarterback. And, if you're willing to buy your own whistle, you can be the head coach!
But, seriously that's pretty cool, Eagle. Let us know if he makes it so we can watch for him when the season starts!

I actually recorded the entire Lions season minus commercials on a DVD. I have a 16 DVD set that I can rewatch them find new ways to lose over and over and over again.
Why must you torture me with such memories? _________________

I will let you know so you can watch him in the preseason games.
I think the best he can hope for is to make the practice squad, but that would be amazing.

Isn't Brett Favre like 50 years old now? The Packers time is long gone, they soon will be switching places with the Lions! _________________

The Packers time is long gone, they soon will be switching places with the Lions! Hmm, seems like I've been hearing that from Lion, Bear, and Viking fans for the past five years. Wait, which team is the only NFCN champion? \:D/
